After raising three children and watching them graduate from college, Bob and Carol decided to leave the educational field and pursue a dream that had been put on hold for 35 years (since graduationg from the University of Northern Iowa). "Two in Thailand" is the journal dedicated to that dream - to serve in the Peace Corps. This is a personal blog. The opinions expressed within do not necessarily represent the views of the Peace Corps or the United States Government.

Breakfast at Pornatiffanie's

We sat down with some friends during a break from our workshop. They insisted that we eat with them. Yes, those are grasshoppers! Bob cleared his "plate" like his mother taught him to do. "Eat everything. Don't throw anything away! There are people starving in Afghanistan!" Carol decided she would join the ranks of the Afghanistans. Actually, she told them it was a Catholic holiday and she was supposed to fast for 24 hours.
